How Can You Tell That Computer Ergonomics Are Important
The Occupational Safety & Health Administration warns us that hours in front of the computer can have adverse effects on our bodies if we’re not careful. As their website warns, “Using a mouse for a few minutes should not be a problem for most users, but performing this task for several uninterrupted hours can expose the small muscles and tendons of the hand to hundreds or even thousands of activations (repetitions). There may not be adequate time between activations for rest and recuperation, which can lead to localized fatigue, wear and tear, and injury.” These warnings underscore the need for computer ergonomics, which may include such things as lighting, chair, desk, document holder and typing ergonomics.
Most people in need of computer ergonomics suffer from repetitive strain injuries. Repetitive injuries occur when excess stress is placed on a joint, thus pulling on surrounding tendons and muscles. When the body does not have adequate time to recuperate from such strain, it becomes irritated, swollen and damaged. This type of injury includes carpal tunnel syndrome, which is a swelling inside a narrow tunnel of bone/ligaments in the wrist. Since this tunnel protects delicate nerves, sufferers experience pain, tingling and numbness. Some people with severe neck and shoulder pain have cervical radiculopathy, a type of disk compression. Epicondylitis (“tennis elbow”), a ganglion cyst (swollen lump in the wrist), reflex sympathetic dystrophy (dry, swollen hands and loss of muscle control) and tendonitis (tearing and inflammation of tendons) are not uncommon in computer workers.
As a result, computer workstations with ergonomic furniture have gained widespread popularity around the world. For example, there are special keyboards for typing designed to reduce muscle strain. Some keyboards split the keys up, with different elevated sections to increase the range of motion. Others are fixed at a certain elevated position to the user’s hands aren’t so bent while typing. A special ergonomic chair with a tilt function helps workers stretch their backs and change postures throughout the day to allow different muscle groups a chance to relax. Adjustable computer workstation ergonomics gives individuals the ability to change their postures frequently by moving trash cans, document folders and mouse pads around. There are even laptop attachments, like a different type of mouse and monitor.
In addition to purchasing necessary computer ergonomics products, workers must be trained to spot health hazards like musculoskeletal disorders. Signs and symptoms may include painful joints, painful tingling or numbness in hands or feet, shooting pain in the arms or legs, swelling or inflammation, burning sensation, pain in wrists or shoulders, fingers or toes that turn white, back or neck pain, and stiffness. Many people suffer these problems due to repetitive motions and poor posture.
